XGIMI H6 4K In-Depth Review: Lower Brightness, Higher Price

XGIMI has launched a brand new projector from the H series called XGIMI H6 4K Version. You know, 4K means that the XGIMI H series has officially entered the 4K era, and now it supports lossless optical zoom.

However, compared with the previous generation XGIMI H5, the brightness of XGIMI H6 does not increase, but decreases. So, many people ask, why buy the new XGIMI H6 when it has a lower brightness and a higher price?

In this article, I want to share the in-depth experience of using XGIMI H6 after a week. We will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of XGIMI H6 in design, brightness, picture quality and colors, system functions, and sound quality. Let’s start with the design.

Design

The appearance of XGIMI H6 matches the style of the H series. The new projector is very similar to XGIMI H5. Wouldn’t you agree? However, the size and weight have been reduced.

There is an optical zoom lens and 3D ToF sensor on the front. We can also see a 4K logo below the lens. It is definitely the main feature of the new XGIMI projector.

The XGIMI H6 is equipped with an upgraded XGIMI MAVII Pro Eagle Eye 3.0 Pro, which supports autofocus, automatic keystone correction, automatic screen alignment, and intelligent obstacle avoidance. In addition, it comes with an adaptive wall color and ambient light.

Among the available interfaces of XGIMI H6 are DC power, two USB 2.0, HDMI 2.1 (eARC), HDMI 2.1, a 3.5mm audio interface, and optical fiber.

Brightness

Now, I want to talk about the brightness of the new XGIMI projector.

XGIMI H6 has a full-color LED solution. The CCB color brightness is 1200CCB lumens, which is 200CCB lumens less than XGIMI H5.

I should say that the CCB test uses a 13-point illuminance of red, green, and blue for separate testing. The average red, green, and blue illuminances are added and multiplied by the projected area to get the CCB standard for cinema brightness.

In bright mode, when the brightness is 10, the average color brightness of XGIMI H6 100 inches is about 1106 CCL.

You know, the brightness performance of XGIMI H6 is not bad. At the same time, relying on the full-color LED system of the self-developed optical machine, the brightness is continuously stable and bright. It can be clearly viewed when the light is turned on.

Picture Quality and Colors

XGIMI H6 uses a full-color LED light source. The display chip size is 0.47”DMD, and it supports HDR10+HLG decoding.

Red, green, and blue primary color test

In the three primary color test, the blue color is more obvious.

The brightness and clarity of the XGIMI H6 screen are decent. The projector uses an XGIMI X-VUE 2.0 image quality engine and AI recognition of the screen scene. In general, the picture is fine.

Mobile Screen Projection and Motion Compensation Measurement

When mirroring the screen of your smartphone on the projection screen, there are no advertisements. The XGIMI H6 projector also supports MEMC motion compensation.

System experience

The new XGIMI H6 projector is still equipped with an MT9669 processor. In combination with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, it ensures that the system runs smoothly and does not freeze.

The new XGIMI projector is only released in China, so it has a GMUI user interface. I do not want to dwell on it, because there are many Chinese apps and streaming services that will be of little interest to you.

Voice Control

 However, you should know that XGIMI H6 supports voice commands. The recognition is sensitive and accurate.

Optical zoom

Unlike the digital zoom of XGIMI H5, the new XGIMI H6 projector uses optical zoom.

The idea of digital zoom is to crop the projection screen. Obstacles or non-frontal projections produce a gray border at the edge of the digital zoom, which means a double loss of resolution and brightness.

The optical zoom, in simple terms, is a built-in lens that can adjust the focal length like an SLR camera, so the projector can achieve different optical focal lengths (projection ratios), and there is no loss of image quality or brightness in the process of zooming in or zooming out. Realize the lossless scaling of the picture.

Turbo Light Engine

It is worth noting that the XGIMI H6 uses the Turbo Light engine, brought on by optical zoom technology, which can automatically sense changes in ambient light and perform one-button brightening, increasing brightness by 39%.

Other features

Other features of XGIMI H6: dual Bluetooth headset connection, wall color self-adaptation, automatic screen color recovery, achieving a display effect comparable to a white wall; game mode has a refresh rate of up to 240 Hz, and the delay is only 12ms.

Automatic Keystone Correction and Focus

 XGIMI H6 is equipped with the XGIMI MAVII Eagle Eye 3.0 Pro system with optical zoom. The new system provides much faster autofocus, automatic keystone correction, and intelligent obstacle avoidance. The projector even retains image quality while correcting keystone distortion.

Sound Quality and Noise Level

Sound quality test

XGIMI and Harman Kardon collaborate for sound tuning. The dual Dolby & DTS sound effect works well in the new projector.

Compared with other 4K projectors at this price range, XGIMI H6 is the only projector with optical zoom. The projector can maintain ultra-sharp 4K image quality while moving, and it is very friendly to small spaces. A larger screen can be projected at the same distance. If your budget allows, this projector is worth your attention.
